Dear Support
I am trying to get Moblog to create posts within my site but I get an error when I manually “check Moblog” in the control panel. The error is “No valid emails were found”.

This is confusing as the emails appear in the appropriate webmail account and my husband has watched the server logs and seen EE checking the account when I “check Moblog” in the back end.

I am using an iPhone to send the emails. What constitutes a valid email? Clearly I must be missing something.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards Cheryl

Hello Cheryl,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

Are you in the Control Panel when you get this message?

Are you using a dedicated email address?

What do you have set for the prefix?

Please let me know.

Cheers,

I also can’t get moblog to work. I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong. I set up a dedicated gmail account, but i keep getting the “no valid emails found” message when I manually check from the CP/Moblog module.

I’ve tried with prefix and without a prefix. I also tried with a Yahoo account, but I couldn’t get moblog to connect (fine, I’d prefer to use gmail anyways).

Any ideas?

Hey liberty79,

Moblog is a trial and error feature. Getting the email to work takes a bit of work.

Are you using SMTP or POP?

Thank you,

I’m using POP Gmail.

Hey Liberty79,

What version of ExpressionEngine are you currently running.

Does the test email work?
